I don’t know whether you’re male or female, but female anger has long been suppressed — and it’s sticky and difficult to unwind it’s complexity.

And i wish i could better control my displaced anger because it has wrecked relationships and my anger at me hurts me. I think we need to take responsibility for when our displaced anger hurts other people.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-21950495512333808432018-11-04T15:39:13.335-08:002018-11-04T15:39:13.335-08:00Oh what I wouldn't give to be at one of your s...Oh what I wouldn't give to be at one of your salons! I believe that one day, it will happen.<br /><br />I, like Steve, have trouble with anger. It wasn't a safe emotion in the house I grew up in, and since leaving my parents home, when I've displayed anger I've been told I 'have issues'. But I love Martha Beck's words about anger, about how it's necessary, how it tells us when someone has crossed our boundaries.Vesuvius At Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02783271096885148080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-54020531768618588912018-11-02T09:21:00.719-07:002018-11-02T09:21:00.719-07:00I have trouble with anger, both my own and other p...I have trouble with anger, both my own and other people's. I've never been comfortable with it, and I've never (or rarely) found it motivating. But I recognize that's my own failing and I certainly understand why people (particularly women) are angry now! I sort of WISH I was better at allowing myself to be angry. My tendency is exactly what you're deploring -- to seek the middle, the common ground, to be a peacemaker. Is that a bad thing? I don't know. I'm afraid where we'll wind up if we DON'T find commonalities, but at the same time, I think we have to resist the racism and sexism and all the other -isms and phobias that are absolutely wrong. Wishy-washy, I know.Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-34064190131773217102018-11-02T07:03:36.810-07:002018-11-02T07:03:36.810-07:00I love this.

It is fuel. Thank you. And I love Eat Your Words.

I'm angry that a stupid, ignorant, self centered, amoral man get's to spew hate every single fucking day and he's allowed to do this in a public forum.
